Is there any kind of similar limit for variables? I have a script that creates html. For the app the html is being pasted into, I cannot have return characters in it. So, after compiling all the html into a variable, I replace the linefeeds with empty (and have tried other means of substitution as well). Occassionally (about 1 in 10 cases) it will refuse to put the extended data (without linefeeds) into a variable (which is just put into the clipboard, not into a field). Instead, it will cut off the data partway into it. If I do not remove the linefeeds, then it does not cut off the data.
I am a bit stumped by it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Gaskin Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 4:47 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Characters not displaying in a field? kee nethery wrote: > I'm trying to put 140000 characters into a field, no spaces.

Why does the text, bunchOCharacters, not display in the field? This is a known limitation: the text engine can display up to 65,535 characters on a single line. What is the end-user looking for in a display of 140000 characters? Could there be another way to present that information which would both fit in the 64k-per-line limit and give them an easier time finding what they need? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __________________________________________________ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
